FINEOS
Corporation, a market leading provider of claims management
software, today announced that The
Manitoba Teachers’ Society (MTS) has selected FINEOS to manage
claims and payments arising from its Disability Benefits Plan, an
insurance plan owned and operated for teachers in the province of
Manitoba in Canada, since 1994. The Manitoba Teachers’ plan is designed
to support members with medical and vocational rehabilitation if they
become ill or injured, ensuring the earliest possible return to work and
maximum quality of life.

FINEOS
Claims will be used to manage all stages of the MTS claims and
rehabilitation process from initial notification through vocational
rehabilitation and payment for loss of earnings and medical expenses. It
will automate complex payment processes, allowing MTS staff to focus on
the high-value activities of managing the claimant’s recovery. The
implementation of FINEOS Claims will be carried out by the MTS using the
configurability capabilities within the solution. They will be supported
with training and implementation support services from FINEOS.

Andy Beardsall, Information Technology Manager at MTS, welcomed the
decision to select FINEOS. He said, “We looked at a number of solution
options in order to deliver the best outcome for our members and in the
end we felt FINEOS provided the best overall fit for us in terms of the
capabilities it offered around managing disability claims and payments.
Overall we see the solution adding tremendous benefit to our
organization. Our team will be able to immediately retrieve information
in a system that is configured to follow our claims processes. This will
have a huge impact in two areas in particular - a) our people can spend
more time on more value-add processes and tasks, and b) the result is
that our members’ level of service and support will be improved
considerably.”

Commenting on the new signing, FINEOS CEO, Michael Kelly said, "We are
delighted to announce our fifth FINEOS customer within the Canadian
Market. This partnership with The Manitoba Teachers’ Society is very
exciting as they will be implementing many of our most recent features.
In addition, they will be performing the majority of the solution
implementation themselves, with training and support provided by FINEOS,
which further demonstrates the ‘out of the box’ nature of our solution.
This underpins why FINEOS Claims is the solution of choice for Life and
Disability insurance”.
